Sorry you are having a problem. I read the first post and didn't understand that one either. And, yes, I jack it up as high as the jack will go and don't have any problem.
With the vehicle chocked or in park, at full extension of a good roller jack vehicles don't move sideways, forward or back. However, because the angle changes when it is lowered onto the stands it is always necessary to adjust the location of the stands if the stands were positioned directly under the pad when the jack was fully extended.
I seldom guess right where they will meet the jack points on the car so I lower in small increments until I have the stands exactly where I want them. Obviously, the closer I can extend the stands to the pads before I lower the jack the easier it is to position the stands correctly. I am very careful to be sure the stands are properly positioned and always keep the roller jack in place as a backup. I use the extra tall jack stands so there are not extended very much.
